With regard the cuts for those under the age of 26, a recent report specifically identified the impact on people in this group in terms of their housing situation. Those in that age bracket are substantially more likely to be homeless. I just want to pick up on the comment to the effect that there is no evidence of the impact that this cut is having on people. There is a real impact out there, specifically in homelessness. There is evidence that these cuts are having a detrimental impact on people, to a substantial degree, in terms of homelessness and sleeping on the streets.

I can get the Minister the facts of that report. The evidence is there that it is having a grave impact. It is a discriminatory act.
